Lies Poem by Philip Lore

You need the truth,
I'll tell you lies.
I can't let you into this landslide of pain,
You just want to hear these things,
But, there's really no gain.
You need the truth,
I'll tell you lies,
It sounds convoluted,
I know thats its wise.

There's a room in my heart,
You'll never see through,
From what I've seen and done,
I can't explain it to you,
You need the truth,
I'll tell you lies,
It sounds convoluted,
I know that its wise.

If I told you these things,
They will seize your heart,
Grind you down, tear you apart.
This is my first truth I'll tell you,
When I gaze into your eyes,
No more farewells,
No more goodbyes.
